Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as render vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor tant recommendatio n of being FREE from the 'pernicious attributes of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most decided and instantaneou s relief that art can accomplish.

Price Is. • - - • - - The Son of God having, at various periods of his ministry, told his disciples that the Father—by whom he lived—without whom he were nothing—the sole object of his worship—his Father and theirs, their God and his—the only true God—was greater than all—at the close of his ministry, suddenly and in a breath tells lik• disciples, that He is but one of three co-equal Persons, of whom himself is another, in a Truine Deity. And these disciples, so un derstanding his words, hear them without the slightest emotion of surprise, and forthwith shape their creed and prea c hi ng b y t h e whole and sole tenor of h is previous discourses.

Previous to that period "a much larger class of bcok buyers had sprung up, principally out of the middle ranks. For these a new species of literature had to be pro duced—that of books conveying sterling information in a popular form, and published at a very cheap rate. In the year 1827 Constable's Miscellany led the way in this novel attempt; the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge corn ' menced its operations ; and several publishers of eminence soon directed their capital into the same channels. Subse quently, editions of our great writers have been multiplied at very reasonable prices; and many a tradesman's and mechanic's house now contains a well-selected stock of books, which, through an annual expenditure of 2/. or 31., has brought the means of intellectual improvement, end all the tranquil enjoy ment that attends the practice of family reading, home to his own fireside. The increasing desire for knowledge amongst the masses of the people was, however, not yet supplied. In 1832 the Penny Magazine, and Chambers' .Journal commenced to be published ; and subsequently the Saturday Magazine. The Penny Sheet of the reign of Queen Anne was revived in the reign of William IV., with a much wider range of usefulness. The wonderful success of this class of publications led a few persans, who did not know the great truth—that the more paoio - rev the more the! will read—to proclaim that the trade in beaks would be ciestroyed. The futiowirig taL!., of the Hum ber of new publications, without pamphlets and reprints, froi;! 1828 to 1836, furnishes the true answer t these objectors to cheap literature:— Year. Publications.

Looking back to the first half century of printing, we see Gutenberg and his an cestors slowly producing a few costly books, for which they had great difficulty in finding purchasers. We think that it might be asserted, without exaggeration, that the periodical works issued in Great Britain during one year comprise more sheets than all the books printed in Europe from the period of Gutenberg's discovery to the year 1500. A few of the details of this wonderful branch of the commerce of literature may amuse our readers. The number of Nitaspapers published in the United King dom is about 370—0 f which 51 are published in London; and 190 in the English provinces ; 53 io Scotland ; and 76 in Ireland. The stamps annually issued for these newspapers is now about 45,000,000. In the quarter coding Ist Ar .1.1 last (the last return), 11,500,000 were issued. This numl,er shows an annual increase of about 15,000,000 since the roduction of the stamp to one penny. The quantity of paper required for the annual supply of these newspapers is 90,001 In a petition to the Pope in 1471, from Sweynheim and Pannartz, printers at Rome, they bitterly complain pf,',.he want of de mand for their books, their sty •lt amounting to 12,000 volumes ; and the— " Yo' :11 a.lmire hr - id where we could pros!. .uantity'( - 4 iven rags, for such a numb, Abr• ,201 ,ms of paper would have ,ek.

The monthly issue of periodical literature from London is unequalled by any similar commercial operation in Europe Two hundred and thirty-six monthly periodical works are sent out on the last day of each month, to every corner of the United Kingdom, from Paternoster-row. There are also 34 periodical works published quarterly, making a total of 270. Of the monthly periodicals—including the weeklies issued in parts—there arc, 53 devoted to general literature ; 43 to various branches of science, natural history, &c. ; 46 religious and missionary—many the organs of particular sects; 4 histo ries of England—appearing periodically ; 17 works issuing in volumes—a few in parts ;20 fine arts—picture galleries—to pography ; 6 fashions. Of the remainder, many are very cheap periodicals, addressed chiefly to children. A bookseller, who has been many years conversant with the industry of the great literary hire of London on Magazine Day, has favoured us with the following computations, which we have every reason to believe perfectly accnratc : The periodical works sold on the last day of the month, amount to 500,000 copies. The amount of cash expended in the purchase of these 500,000 copies is 25,000/. The parcels dispatched into the country, of which very few remain over the day, are 2,000. The article concludes with a vivid description of the cere monies which took place at Mayenee last August, four hun. dred years after the invention of printing, when the citizens, assisted by deputations from the principal cities on the conti nent, dedicated a statue to the memory of their townsman, of whom they have so much reason to be proud. Passing his life amidst the ceaseless activity that thus be longs to the commerce of literature in London, the writer of this paper felt no common interest in the enthusiasm which the festival in honour of Gutenberg called forth throughout Germany. The fine statue which was to be opened to public view on the 14th August, had been erected by a general sub scription, to which all Europe was invited to contribute. We apprehend that the English, amidst the incesuant claims upon their attention for the support of all sorts of un dertakings, whether of a national or individual cha racter, had known little of the purpose which the good citizens of Mayonce had been advocating with unabated zeal for several years ;—and perhaps the object itself was not calculated to call forth any very great liberality, on the part of those who are often directed in their bounties as much by fashion as by their own convictions. Be that as it may, England literally gave nothing towards the monument of a man whose invention has done as much as any other single cause to make England what she is. The re moteness of the cause may also have lessened its importance ; and some people, who, without any deserts of their own, are enjoying a more than full share of the blessings which have been shed upon us by the progress of intellect (which deter mines the progress of national wealth) have a sort of instinc tive notion that the spread of knowledge. is the spread of something inimical to the pretensions of mere riches. We met with a lady on board the steam-boat ascending the Rhine, two days before the festival of Mayence, who, whilst she gave us an elaborate account of the fashionable dullness of the baths of Baden and Nassau, and all the other Ger man watering-places, told us by all means to avoid Mayence during the following week, as a crowd of low people from all parts would be there, to make a great fuss about a printer who had been dead two or three hundred years. The low people did assemble in great crowds: it was computed that at least fifteen thousand strangers had arrived to do honour to the first printer. The modes in which a large population displays its en thusiasm are pretty much the same throughout the world. If the sentiment which collects men together be very heart stirring, all the outward manifestations of the sentiment In r monize with its real truth. Thus, processions, and orations, and public dinners, and pageantries which in themselves are vain and empty, are important when the persons whom they collect together have one common feeling which for the time is all-pervading. We never saw such a po pular fervour as prevailed at Mayence at the festival of last August. The statue was to be opened on Monday tlle 14th ; but on the Sunday evening the name of Gutenberg was rife through all the streets—and the whole population was gathered on the bank of the river to look upon a trans parency displayed from a stearnhott. In the morning all Mayence was in motion by six o'clock ; and at eight a pro cession was formed to the Cathedral, which, if it were not much more imposing than some of the processions of trades in London, was conducted with a quiet precision which evidenced that the people felt they were engaged in a solemn act. The fine old Cathedral was crowded ;—the Bishop of Mayence performed High Mass ;—the first Bible printed by Gutenberg was displayed. What a field for rake . tion was here opened ! The first Bible, in connexion with they say, " You will a . ,:mire how an( sure a sufficient quantity of paper, or e Aber of volumes."

The Mass ended, the procession again advanced to the adjacent square, where the statue was to be opened. Here was erected a vast amphitheatre, where, seated under their respective banners, were deputations from all the great cities of Europe. Amidst salvos of artillery the veil we.' re moved from the statue, and a hymn was sung by a thousand voices. Then came orations—then dinners—balls--oratorios —boat-races—processions by torch-light. For three days the population of Mayence was kept in a state of high exci t ement and the echo of the excitement went through Germany—and Gutenberg! Gutenberg ! was toasted in many a bumper of Rhenish wine amidst this cordial and enthusiastic people. And, indeed, even in one who could not boast of belonging to the land in which printing was invented, the universality of the mighty effects of this art, when rightly considered, would produce almost a corresponding enthusiasm. It is difficult to look upon the great changes that have been effected during the last four centuries, and which are still in progress every where around us, and not connect them with printing and with its inventor. The castles on the Rhine, under whose ruins we travelled from Mayence, perished before the power ful combinations of the people of the towns. Tee petty feudal despots fell, when the burghers had acquired wealth and knowledge. But the progress of despotism upon a larger scale could not ilave been arrested had the art of Gutenberg not been discovered. The strongholds of military power still frown over the same majestic river. The Rhine has seen its petty fortresses crumble into decay ; Ehren breitstein is more strong than ever; but even Ehrenbreitstein Rill fall before the power of mind. The Rhine is crowded with steam-boats, where the feudal lords once levied tribute upon the frail bark of the fisherman ; and the approaches to the Rhine from. France and Belgium will, in a few vcars, be a series of railroads. Such communications will make war a • game much more difficult to play ; and when mankind are thoroughly civilised, it will never be played again. Seeing, then, what intellect has done, we may well venerate the me- mory of Gutenberg of Mayence. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTWOUTH, Alaucn 31.—The Ranger packet, Lieut.

In the Sound.---Malabar and Inconstant. In Harnoaze.—Roya Adelaide, San Josef, Talbot, and Barossa transport. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) HUDDERSFIELD.—Buyers hang fire, and the majority of manufacturers stand firm in opposition to the prices tendered. Woollens of every description were heavy of sale, and the few sold did not realize good prices. The light fancy trade exhibits more favourable symptoms, especially in waistcoat ings. Wool may be quoted a shade lower, which was attri buted to the unfortunate error of last Saturday's report. There is little probability, however, that wools will fall materially. BRADFORD. —We have had another heavy Piece Market. We cannot report any improvement as contrasted with last week ; nor on the sales effected is there any material altera tion in prices. There is little or no alteration in the Yarn market ; certainly no improvenn nt. Buyers are reluctant to purchase at the price asked by the spinners, and the latter being indisposed to ask less, fire determined to do less till the price of yarn is more determined, or the price of wool admit of a reduction in the price of yarn. In the Wool market the sales are more limited than for some time past, which, with a better supply, has produced another slight decline. Fine Matchings and fine Hogs continue more in request than other sorts, and from the best information we can get, there is a little more confidence manifested on the part of staplers, who are acting under the impression that the prices of wool will not conic down. HALIFAX.--We had but a dull market for pieces. The merchants buy sparingly : the prices arc, we believe, a shade lower. There has been but little business done in yarns, and that little at lower prices. Wool is rather lower in price this week, and not much business doing ; middle wethers are sold from 141. 10s. RoennALE.—Our market still continues dull, very few buyers attend to-day (Monday), and consequently very little business was done. The few sales which were efrmted were chiefly in middle and fine qualities, and at a trifling reduction in the prier. WAKEFIEED —We cannot notice anv improvement in the state of the wool market ; things continue extremely dull, and, as a necessary consequence, prices of both lung and short wool rather give way. .MANCIIESTER.—_The market here continues in precisely the same state as for some weeks past. The demand fur yarn is limited, and the prices exceedingly &pressed ' • but a fair business has been doing in most descriptions of goo3s, and prices continue steady. —Manchester Guardian, Wednesday, Mr. Ransford, whose vocal exertions have afforded so much satisfaction to the public, has completely recovered from his recent long and serious illness, and will immediately resume his professional duties at Covent-garden theatre.
